LIFE IN JAPAN.
How the People Live, Work and Amuse
Themselves.
[Special Correspondence.l


NEW YORK, May Japan is as interest
ing to Americans as any country in the
world, and has been ever since the days
of Commodore Perry and his expedition.
In surprisingly short time we have
become almost as well acquainted with the
island empire as we are with other nations on
our own continent, and the general testimony
is that there is much that is agreeable in
Japanese life. The people are cheerful, social
and very ingenious; the embroidery made by
them is rarely equaled in any other country,
and in all the arts which require deft mani
pulation of the fingers and eyes trained to
nice distinctions of form and color they lead
the world. But the management OF
heavy machinery is not much in Their
line Yet the empire now has over
500 miles of railroad and 5000 miles of tele

English governors of Ireland refused
to put the prisoners on trial, or to state
why they we're deprived of their liberty.
Indignation meetings were held in this
country, and the course of our govern
ment, in permitting its citizens to be de-
prived of their liberty, without due course
of law, denounced. One of the most Wig
orous of these meetings was presided over
by Mayor Grover Cleveland, of Buffalo.
But Blaine and his subordinate, Lowell,
we're deaf to the demands of patriotism,
deaf to the demand for justice, deaf to
the appeals of the imprisoned Americans
in Irish iails. Lowell was faithful to
Blaine. He carried out the instructions
of the state department in letter and
spirit, and he unainchingly accepted
good share of the indignation that
Blaine's conduct engendered in this
country. A less loyal man than
Lowell wonld have placed the response
bility where it belonged simple ex-
PLANTATION that he was merely obeying the
orders of his official superiors would have
diverted rancorous attacks from the min
lister to the secretary. But Lowell stood
firm. Why, then, should the Blaine fam
ilv, of which Gail Hamilton is no incon-
seouential member, attack our late min
lister to England? 1t was Lowell's per-
sonal and political character rather than
his literary character that suffered attack
by the anonymous writer in the North
American Review. Is it an effort of the
Blaines to bring Lowell forward afresh
for the place of chief responsibility for
the disgraceful abandonment of our i'm
prisoned fellow-citizens in 1881? 1t
looks that way Except as lingo candi-
date, Blaine would cut a poor figure in
presidential race in 1888, therefore the
spawned policy of Our government
in dealing with Britain few
wears ago must be shout
dered on Lowell Then, again.
Lowell is a mugwump, and, from the
Blame Gail Hamilton standpoint, mug
wump is public enemy. During the
last national contest Lowell then our min
lister to England, gave no expression te
his preference for president. When ut
was relieved by Minister Phelps, howeve
he took occasion to say that had he beer
home he would have voted for Cleveland
There are two principal reasons VIII.
Gail Hamilton should have desire TO
Lowell's scalp. In the first place, h
knows too much aoout Blaine's "spirite'
foreign policy" and it is wisdom t.
weaken his influence lest he might be in
duced in the future to tell about it. Sec
ondly, Lowell is mugwump, and that
!; sin for which there is no forgiveness il
the Blaine household. 1t is not improb
able that Gail Hamilton is at least sec
ton of arthur Richmond" The philoso
ply of the attack on Lowell points to tn
literary hnraan of the plumed knight.

GU LIB Y.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of q
worthless humbug can make money by imposing
upon the credulty and ignorance of an honest pub
lie, and the supply of this species of work seems
more than an adequate demand. The enunciation
of facts-facts that have stood crucial testsfacts
proven by brain force and tangible evidence should
satisfy all laudabe enterprises; but the execrsble
practice of teaching false ideas and doctrines for
self. ACKNOWLEDGMENT is truly reprehensible and
should be scorned by all classes
When one house tells You that lodide of Potash
is poison simply because their opponents use it,
and because they pandering to your igr ORANGE,
as they suppose, you Should look upon all such
as arrant frauds and their remedies as unworthy
of public confidence, and If those who make such
assertions do not know better, they are set OF
unenviable ignoramuses.

FAIRCHILD ON OUR FINANCES.
A Talk With the Secretary About Gov
me Securities.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Secretary Fairchild,
in d talk on financial matters, is quoted as
saying that all redeemable securities OF the
government are now called. He continued:
After the first OF July the last of the loan of
1852 at 3 per cent, r~edeematle at the option
of the government, will have been taken up.
The amount outstanding on The last day OF
May vas a trife less than $50, 600, 600"
"What relief can You have, then, from an
excessive accumulation OF the surDlusln
Il have authority TO anticipate interest or
90 upon the market and buy. IN the former
expedicuty ! could anticipate the interest for
Que year on $50, 900, 900 Of 1915 at ~ per
cent, and $131, 5. 0,o00 of l907's at
1 per cent. The aggrt re would be about
$40, 000, 600, which would give that amount Of
relief until congress should meet. The an.
thority to purchase bonds tn open market Is
subject TO the manipulations of spectators.
II they should run the premium up to an ex-
ceptional rate there would be no propriety in
resorting to this means OF relief. These bonds
are at a high rate-in fact, a maximum rate.o
AS to the first plan the secretary said there
would be no difficulty II holders Of securities
would cooperate and woul accept the pay
ment of interest in advance. The secretary
would cot compel them TO take the interest
until 1t Is due. TX they accept the interest
hii,i, 1870 ~ aR 1874 RaN RAt I'NAA
for i've or six months. Mr.. Faifchiih, in view
Of the I ower given him by the statutes, as
above indicated, did not think an extra SEES
sion necessary. Even il congress did meet a
couple Of months in advance OF its regular
time, Mr.. Fairchild did not think revenue leg
~islation would be much forwarded. Many Of
tie members would greatly object to an
early session because OF the important
state elections In October and Novem-
her. MIR. Fairchild said that a revision of the
tariff. and a reduction Of the revenue could
not be delayed much longer. The surplus
revenues for the lext fiscal year, from the
present indications, will not be less than
800, 100000. After the 1st Of July, as | have
said, there will be no way OF getting rid of
this accumulation. An anticipation Of inter
est would still leave a surplus Of sec, 600, 600,
and to 90 into the market and buy bonds may
have objections. Therefore something must
he done-wisely, too. and with reference to
some definite policy for the benefit OF the peo-
pie. The decrease of the debt for eleven
months Of the last fiscal year was 500, 900, 600.
The debt, less cash in the treasury June l..
ran down to 81, 300, coo, 900, the interest bear
Ing portion Of which is but 81, 100, 0f0, 900.
The reduction Of the debt by the redemption
OF outstanding securities has come to the END
or its tether. Now we must seek other means
of relieving the treasury Of its overwhelming
resources.
